NAME
     asa - interpret ASA carriage control characters

SYNOPSIS
     asa [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
     Asa interprets the output of FORTRAN programs that use ASA carriage
     control characters.  It processes either the files whose names are given
     as arguments or the standard input if no filenames are supplied.  The
     first character of each line is assumed to be one of the following
     control characters:


     ' '       (Blank) Single newline before printing;

     0         Double newline before printing;

     1         New page before printing;

     +         Overprint previous line.


     If a line begins with anything other than the above characters, asa
     automatically interprets it as beginning with a ' ', and produces an
     appropriate diagnostic on the standard error.  It never prints the first
     character of a line, and it always forces the first line of each input
     file to start on a new page.
